Post Game Passion: AFL 2020 Rd 4: Carlton vs. the Drug Cheats

[Baggers]

Interestingly, the one person who stood up for Silvagni and condemned the Merrett tackle was Matthew Lloyd!!!

.....and Merrett gets 1 week!!!

Absolutely flabbergasted that Merrett only gets 1 week.

Schofield gets a week for a headbutt - intentional... the victim plays on, Silvagni is out for the game and probably two more - a cost of 3 games.

And for those who argue that Merrett's was careless conduct and not intentional I say, unmitigated bullsh1t. He intended for his fist to hit Silvagni's body, and it did, and it damaged his body to the extent that Silvagni suffered and will lose games.

Put another way, had Greene done what Merrett did, what would be the punishment?

This matter should go further, but that would require Gil having a pair.
